MTB DISCRIPTION

A bicycle designed for off-road riding is a mountain bike (MTB)or mountain bike. Mountain bikes share some characteristics with other motorcycles, but add technologies intended to improve rugged terrain stability and performance. Usually, these include a suspension fork, wide knobby tyres, more robust spokes, solid brakes, straight handlebars, lower gear ratios for climbing steep hills, and often rear suspension to help smooth the track.

Endurance, core strength and balance, bike handling skills , and self-reliance are required for this sport. Both steep technical descents and high incline climbs are attempted by advanced cyclists. In the case of freeride, downhill, and dirt climbing, both natural elements and specially designed jumps and ramps are practised as aerial maneuvers.

Mountain bikers are equipped with drops, berms, and drop-offs to bring fun to the ride on off-road paths such as singletrack, back-country paths, larger cycle park tracks, forest paths, and some specialised paths. Enduro and downhill cycle enthusiasts will also tour ski resorts that remain open in the summer to ride unique trails downhill, using the ski lifts to return their bikes to the roof.
